Master's in Communications from Louisiana Baptist University is complete; I have a Bachelor's in Business Administration from California Southern University (distance learning). I also possess medical writing, terminology, and legal assistant vocational certificates. My position as a registered reporter in the Arizona and Texas court system, renders me expert level in proofreading, etc.
My teaching experience includes: Reviewing and assisting in the composition and grammar of term papers for U of Arizona graduate and under graduate students. Creating continuing educational modules for the National Court Reporters and Captioners Association. I was a state-certified instructor in Texas, and substituted at Texas School of Business and Houston Community College. I have mentored and tutored at Luz Academy in Tucson. The ages taught range from middle school to adult, mainly young adult, but I am open to all ages. I'm prepared to teach ESL.
My first encounter with the student would be an information gathering session, e.g., the reason a tutor is needed, what assessments have already been administered, and what concepts have already been tried, etc. If there is any unnecessary tension for the student, I will offer less stressful exercises during the first phase. I will try more visual, pictorial, computerized approaches to probe and determine if they are more effective. I would confirm comprehension through summary, verbal, written or pictorial outlines, and asking questions. The best advice I received from a teacher was to always look up a word in the dictionary if you don't completely understand; don't assume it from the context. I still look up every word I have a question about.
I will try some alternative approaches to reading and writing that will make it more interesting. There are many ways to learn, and many fun ways to learn. You ARE capable.
I hope you will trust me with conveying the exciting world of English and/or Reading, and Bible Studies. Have a nice day.
